| The Covered Wagon was built from 1972-1976 as a Phillips 66 gas station. It stood at the center of "Westward Ho Park" which included a motel, campground, gift shop, a teepee restroom, and an International Fiberglass Giant Cowboy. The Covered Wagon is 50 feet tall, 30 feet wide and 48 feet long. There were plans to add oxen but that never happened. By the late 1990s, the gas pumps were gone and the giant wheels were removed from the building. In 2001, the cowboy statue was removed. In recent years, the building housed "Outlaw Cycle Repair" until around 2006. By 2008, the building was occupied by Don's Golf Shop. The building has been vacant since at least 2017.

| This Covered Wagon and its pair of concrete oxen were built in 1932 by a pair of missionaries. In 1939, it became part of a souvenir store. It was located next door to the 1733 Ranch (1,733 miles from Boston and from San Francisco) on the Lincoln Highway. In 1951, a fire consumed the covered wagon but the oxen were spared. The wagon was refurbished several times after that. In bad shape by 2002, there was talk of restoring it again but nothing happened. In 2007, the building next to the Wagon was restored. In 2013, the covered wagon and oxen were restored. New canvas was added to the covered wagon. By 2018, the Covered Wagon and oxen were in rough shape again. The building next to it remains vacant. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. [map] |
